    Filenames; originally added for ST-80 compatibility, is
    taking over functionality from other classes (FileDirectory).

    Instances of Filename do not nescessarily represent valid or existing
    files - i.e. it is possible (and useful) to have instances for non-existing
    files around. In other words: the name-string is not checked automatically
    for being correct or existing.
    Thus, it is possible to do queries such as:

	'/fee/foo/foe' asFilename exists     
	'/not_existing' asFilename isDirectory 
	'/foo/bar' asFilename isReadable 

    (all of the above examples will probably return false on your machine ;-).

    examples:

	'Makefile' asFilename readStream

	'newFile' asFilename writeStream

	Filename newTemporary writeStream

    does a file/directory exist ?:

	|f|

	f := 'foobar' asFilename.
	^ f exists  


    is it a directory ?:

	|f|

	f := '/tmp' asFilename.
	^ f isDirectory.   

        
    get the working directory:

	^ Filename defaultDirectory


    get a files full pathname 
    (caring for relative names or symbolic links):

	|f|

	f := '..' asFilename.
	^ f pathName  


    get a directories directory:

	|f|

	f := Filename defaultDirectory.
	^ f directory 


    get a files directory:

	|f|

	f := './smalltalk' asFilename.
	^ f directory 


    getting access & modification times:


	|f|

	f := '/tmp' asFilename.
	^ f dates

    access time only:

	|f|

	f := '/tmp' asFilename.
	^ f dates at:#accessed  
        

    getting all information on a file/directory:


	|f|

	f := '/tmp' asFilename.
	^ f info


    getting a temporary file (unique name):

	|f|

	f := Filename newTemporary.
	^ f    


    creating, writing, reading and removing a temporary file:


	|f writeStream readStream|

	f := Filename newTemporary.
	writeStream := f writeStream.
	writeStream nextPutAll:'hello world'.
	writeStream cr.
	writeStream close.

	'contents (as seen by unix''s cat command:' printNL.
	OperatingSystem executeCommand:('cat ' , f pathName).

	readStream := f readStream.
	Transcript showCr:'contents as seen by smalltalk:'.
	Transcript showCr:(readStream upToEnd).
	readStream close.

	f delete.
        

    getting a directories contents:

	|f files|

	f := '.' asFilename.
	files := f directoryContents.
	Transcript showCr:'the files are:'.
	Transcript showCr:(files printString).


    editing a file:

	|f|

	f := '/tmp/fooBar' asFilename.
	(f writeStream) nextPutAll:'hello world'; close.

	f edit
